@Thanee: that only works on German keyboard layout, where the tilde is replaced by the circumflex. It may work on other layouts, but doesn't work on the U.S. English one or the Serbian one (probably because neither language makes heavy use of accents and such).

It works in Word on my (British) keyboard, but not in MSIE.

If you're going to be entering such characters frequently on a US-layout keyboard, try downloading AllChars. It simplifies entry considerably.

You can also use the autocorrect settings of your word processor (if available) to replace "Faerun" or "Selune" with "Faerûn" or "Selûne" automatically as you type.

I don't know - After Forgotten Realms came out, my friends and I pronounced it "fay-run." Finally, we were told to pronouce it the other way. Sometimes I still catch myself. Mostly I blame the education system in Idaho

Hmm. IIRC, the original grey boxed set have pronunciation phonetic term after each name.

You do, if it doesn't have all of them, it's pretty close.

Yeah, that's what I've done.

I know - I still have the grey boxed set. But somehow we skipped over that page.
